Playing career

Magee has represented Northern Ireland on the under-17, under-19, and senior national teams.[6] At the age of 19, she made her debut for the Northern Ireland senior team in against Belarus on 27 October 2020, coming on as a substitute for Ashley Hutton.[7] [8] After making two appearances in wins against Belarus in the UEFA Women's Euro 2022 qualifying tournament,[9] [10] she was ruled out of play due to injury in late March 2021. Manager Kenny Shiels said of the disappointment, "at this moment in time she is our best player and this has been a hammer blow to her and to the team."[11]
